When has she ever said she's being treated unfairly and shouldn't have been suspended?
She admitted to it and didn't even give some bogus excuse like most of these athletes.
Just because millions of people have crap taste in music does not make him good. To answer your questions, Yes. Yes. 3. None of those you listed are "musicans". no. I'm a couple of million short. Again. Selling garbage music to the minions does not mean it's good. My son listens to drake non stop that that is the same as listening to a runny fart in a soup can.
Will this be a forced stream by Apple, that automatically downloaded the album and starts playing it on all your devices? 
I am having U2 flashbacks. Lol

At least U2 create actual music. Not just sampling others music tossing a drum track over it and speaking it's lyrics in rhythm.Will this be a forced stream by Apple, that automatically downloaded the album and starts playing it on all your devices?
I have never listened to any of his stuff. I mostly stick to classic rock although I may listen to John Mayer's new album. I have heard some of it and it sounds sappy good.
One of the best blues guitarists of this generation. People here probably only know him for "body". because most people here probalby only listen to beats1. Listen to the entire where the light is live album. He's a great artist. I only listen to great music too. The beatles. The enigma of music. I would love to see anyone in pop crap music today try to write a song even remotely as good as "a day in the life".
IGNORE ALL YEEZY SLANDER
DONDA OTW
HE'S DONE MIRACLES ON ME

No, I think the big waste of time is commenting to a comment which was a comment to a comment, of a comment to an article.
I listened to one of his albums years ago, when he was singing about how education is bad. Didn't like it.
I'm fond of that heavy metal longnecked lute music. The best players would push the gain before gain was a thing!
you hate on other genres and make huge assumptions on others taste in music just cause they like or celebrate who YOu don’t or the specific genre you don’t.
if you love music, you’d be much more open minded to every style of music.
maybe go learn how he actually produces his music before you make any such claims of it being 'garbage' music, because just as Kanye wouldn’t be able to write a Beatles song, I guarantee you neither McCartney nor Lennon nor anyone involved in the Beatles songs would be able to create a Kanye track.
What you need to learn is that they're all very talented musicians, and just because you personally don't enjoy Kanye's music it doesn't make it garbage. Calling it so just makes you close-minded
West and McCartney even appear on a song together- seems like McCartney doesn’t think he’s garbage, does he?

let's be VERY clear about a few things here.
1. Music is Music:
Sounds, melody, harmony, lyrics / not, that evoke emotion or express a certain feeling or thought. These change over time regardless of genre or musical style or reference or influence to an artist or the listener(s) = us. The VERY first rhythm ANYONE hears is ....
Their mothers heartbeat in the womb. period. Many of us today would not call a heartbeat music though.
2. What's a Sample:

What most people that chose or heard music on mainstream radio back in the early 90's would read this quote and if they remember this artist would chuckle ... or barely remember how dumb this artist was:
Vanilla Ice denies ripping off Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure
^ so yeah I can clearly understand when you hear Rap music most people that cannot relate to it just say ... 'its not music'.
Regarding your statement about U2 making music sure they do ... but they too also sampled. From the same source above:
So ... be VERY careful what music you put down in terms of sampling. The Roots ... they've sampled and are JUST as accomplished as musicians as U2 in their own right but they play live and record playing their music as well. Some of their samples is purely via inspiration and played on instruments as well.
In the past the same rhetoric about what is music and what isn't, hating new forms of music just like:
blues,
Jazz - especially Miles Davis or Wynton Marsalis,
Motown (evolving to R&B a label name for it) - was considered devil music because of so much gyrating hips in it's day lol.
BeatBox'n - most readers here would think nonsense ... BUT would not say jack against Bobby McFerrin!
Many people here scoff at Rap music ... yet wouldn't call artist Herbie Hancock a non artist - yet he created Rock It! Fully Rap in it's early Breakdancing era.
Sampling music is another way of being inspired and sharing the emotion of one song into another to evoke a memory or staple of an emotion or to signature an era to set a mood, a statement, a feeling, etc. It's been going on for decades now long before the 8 track too.
In fact the history of licensing music that's been sampled or blatantly copied dates back to expensive home auto playing piano's.
Apparently he still has at the minimum 1.5m hardcore fans according to these live stream numbers which would explain how all of his albums have gone at least platinum or are on the verge of 1 million in sales.
